>In our documentation, for the Web server part, there is a step which details the creation of an account on the OS and the assignation of that account to the ASP.NET pane of the Web site for the impersonation. This assumes the account created has the proper privilege to the data directory. This is a standard step that we are doing for every installation.
Sounds like a very good approach. Do you mind sharing this part of your documentation (here or in PM)? If no, no hard feelings.
